Giovanni Palestrina - Missa Papae Marcelli - Gloria

You have good taste! :) I like Palestrina ,as well, however couple of centuries past by, and music has changed because the times, people and life has changed. So many beautiful music has been written since the Renaissance, and "restore this kind of music to all masses" would scare many folks away. I think about the music tradition as a mosaic, or painted glass window or a carpet, with different colors, shapes and mood, and try to enjoy the different kinds of music in their own right.

Interestingly, in the Catholic Church, the music that (technically alone) should be used is Gregorian Chant!

Music that is "fitting for the sacred act of the most Holy Mass" may be used in Church.

Palastrina et al took the words of St John Chrysostom into consideration when composing a capella.

Tambourines, guitars, pianos, drum kits, synthesisers are not becoming to assist devout, silent prayer!

Protestants on the other hand....

i could use your brain for my music test i have tomorrow lol

The most beautiful music does not deserve such bickering. Please keep a respectful forum here for those who find healing and calm with this music. Thank you. There's enough pain in the world, please don't add it here.

It's interesting to me how churches continue to use music composed by these men and women of past centuries, yet today outside the church the garbage labeled "music" dominates. This is one way I know the church isn't full of idiots.

Just because modern music doesn't suit your tastes doesn't make it non-music. To each his/her own.
That said I'm grateful they maintain this tradition in churches.

Idiot

You are VERY WRONG. Many catholic ideals, such as worship in another language, is wrong.

That's a matter of opinion - There is one God and we all worship in different ways. I find evangelical worship so tedious and unispiring but I respect the right of others to worship in that way if they wish. You have no right to judge others - not a y Christian-like thing to do!

I am very curious to know why you believe that?
